Folks,
For those not aware of the ongoing saga of the City of Calgary screwing with Race City and especially motorcycle racing, we were just advised that for the weekend of July 25/26 racing the city has decided to close the main access road (114 ave SE). Below are the new directions to get in.

Folks, we hope to see a big group down from Edmonton for race weekend. If you have been thinking about trying our track, this would be a great time so you are in top racing form prior to the WCC rounds here in September. Just check your transmission to make sure 4th, 5th, and 6th are working!:eek:

If there is ANYTHING that I can personally do to assist you or to ensure you have a great experience visiting our club, please just let me know.

See the email directions for alternate access to Race City that weekend.

Good luck!
Joe P.
VP CMRA

This is to inform you that as part of the 52 St. SE Road Widening project, a total road closure on 114 Ave. SE between 68 St. and 52 St. is required in order to connect a new storm system with an intermodal pond. The closure will take place from 7 am Saturday, July 25 until 10 pm Monday, July 27, 2009.
This closure will not affect traffic on 52 St. SE.
A detour will be established to ensure access is maintained into Race City Speedway facilities:
From the south: Travel east on Marquis of Lorne Tr. to 84 St. SE…north on 84 St. to 114 Ave….west on 114 Ave to the entrance of Race City Speedway.
From the north: Travel east on Glenmore Tr. to 84 St. SE….south on 84 St. to 114 Ave….west on 114 Ave to the entrance of Race City Speedway.
Transportation Infrastructure has left two voice messages with the Race City Speedway office about these construction activities and the upcoming road closure. Art MacKenzie has been aware since June that this road closure needed to occur as soon as possible this summer.
The reason for the closure is the installation of a storm sewer across 114 Ave. This is needed to ensure there is proper collection of stormwater so that work on the 52 St. Road Widening project can continue without interruption.
You may wish to inform your members of this road closure in advance of the July 25-26 CMRA event which is being advertised on the Race City Speedway website.
Thank you for understanding the need for this road closure.
